SUMMARY:Office Closed - Summer Break
DESCRIPTION:Sexual Trauma Awareness & Response (STAR) will be closed from Tuesday\, July 2nd to Sunday\, July 7th in observance of Summer Break. \nResearch suggests over half of all sexual trauma response practitioners experience stress symptoms and high levels of compassion fatigue.
